Digital Humanities III: design, data, intelligent cities and habitats

The symposium is dedicated to data, its optimization and data experiences for users. The focus will be on how to manage and leverage data in the design of urban environments for greater efficiency. The concept of connected cities and habitats, often associated with the term smart cities, is based on the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve the quality of life of inhabitants, optimize the use of resources and promote sustainability.

How can we design and develop the cities of the future, deploy technological tools with a view to smart cities, while working towards sustainable cities with greater democratic integration of the citizen? For this third part of the Humanités Numériques symposium, the focus will be on three areas:

- We'll be looking at the deployment and uses of connected objects in urban spaces, studying how the use of sensors - devices defined as intelligent - has opened the way to new forms of sociability and sensoriality.
- The second section will focus on the modalities and approaches of sustainableurbanization, taking into account planning and more participatory management. We'll be asking what practices and digital tools need to be implemented to effectively design housing, lead to sustainable cities and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals defined by the United Nations (Goals).
Lastly, considering that taking into account the needs of the local population is a key factor in the development of sustainable cities, we'll be looking at how we can take into account the needs of the local population. - Lastly, given that taking into account the upheavals brought about by the irruption of digital tools requires a reconsideration of ecological and ethical issues, contributions should analyze the place reserved for citizens as actors in the decisions and orientations of urban planning policies. In the management of habitats and cities, we'll be looking at the relationship between the data generated by the various systems and the inhabitants/users. Reflections could include artistic and digital approaches, as places for a new "manufacture" of territories and a poetic imagination.

The Humanités Numériques colloquium cycle is in line with the research axes of the Pôle transversal and the DeScripto department - Praxis des écritures et des imaginairesof the Laboratoire de Recherche Sociétés et Humanités (LARSH)one of whose objects isthe theoretical and practical study of presentation/representation devices.

The aim is to articulate in an original and ambitious way the problematics and methods of SHS with those of the digital, in order to elaborate, interpret and analyze, from a social as much as a technical point of view, the connected human being in permanent interaction with his objects, smart-devices or digital assistants. This approach seems to us inseparable from a reflection on literary or artistic works inspired in particular by the technological transformations of urban spaces and habitats, the flow of data, design and artificial intelligence.
